Netflix has had a fair share of good luck lately. As the service continues to experiment with both original programming and picking up failed TV pilots (like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), it seems everything is heading in a positive direction. As Marvel prepares to launch Phase Three of their film slate (beginning with Avengers: Age of Ultron in May), they’re also planning to dominate the small screen with a series of four Netflix Originals starting with Daredevil.
With this first trailer, it looks like we can expect a full 13 episodes of origin story. But while it plays generic, it’s visually interesting. Charlie Cox fits into Matt Murdock well, Vincent D’Onofrio has the Kingpin look down (He’ll never be as intimidating as the late Michael Clarke Duncan, however), and I’m actually digging the pre-devil Daredevil costume. It’s simple, streamlined, and makes a lot of sense. I can only hope the series itself follows suit.
Marvel’s Daredevil premieres on Netflix April 10th.
